KONY 2012

Invisible Children, a film directing collective in the USA, has launched “KONY 2012″, a film and campaign designed to raise public awareness of Joseph Kony, head of the Ugandan guerrilla group Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). Kony and his forces have abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them, and have forced the internal displacement of over 2 million people since their rebellion began in 1986. Despite being named as a war criminal by the International Criminal Court in 2005, Kony has evaded capture. The 30 minute video, narrated by director Jason Russell, appeals to the general public to sign a pledge, “I pledge to to help make Joseph Kony famous by watching and sharing KONY 2012. I will use my voice to influence cultural and policy makers to raise the profile of the conflict. I will Stop at Nothing.”

I found Kony 2012 so interesting when it first kicked off. My social media was just covered in opinions from those for it and those against, and it even sparked some serious arguments between friends! Working for marketing agency the whole concept of Kony 2012 was really interesting for us to witness, especially seeing how young people reacted to it. We’re hoping to feature some opinions on topics like Kony 2012 in the latest edition of our youth insight magazine SEVEN.

We’re on the hunt for some fresh and exciting insights on this topic and others for our new edition. If it sounds like something you’d be interested in then drop us an email at seven@force-7.co.uk to get some more info about it!
